Heart attacks in healthy people: A popular shower habit could take the blame
Plunging into cold water during hot weather may cause heart attacks in young, fit and healthy people. This is due to an autonomic conflict which can trigger abnormal heart rhythms and may in extreme cases cause sudden death.
- Cold showers can shock the blood vessels in the skin causing them to contract thereby obstructing smooth blood flow in the body.
- This can increase heart rate, making it harder for the heart to pump blood around the body.
- As a result, pressure increases causing heart attacks even in healthy people.
